Scott County, TN (WOKI) A former Scott County Sheriff’s Office Deputy pleads guilty Thursday to an assault charge but will not see the inside of a jail cell.
Officials with the Oneida Police Department say 27-year-old Rachel Thomas was taken into custody and charged with assault in July of last year after she punched her mother. OPD says Thomas’s mother was trying to stop her from leaving the house while drunk.
Thomas received judicial diversion for the charge, which means she won’t spend any time in jail and her record will stay clean.
Officials add that Thomas is no longer with the department.
